Joy
Embrace all with joy. Relinquish all with joy.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness flows from being true to yourself.
Stir up the gift of God which is in thee. ~ 2 Timothy 1:5
You have not lived a perfect day unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you. – Ruth Smeltzer
The more you focus on viewing others with love, kindness, compassion, and acceptance, the more your view and God’s view will merge.
Joy is never in things, it is in us. ~ Contemporary Lexicon
Success in life is more than racking up dollars in your bank account . . . it’s about being the best YOU that YOU can be.
Joy is sharing the best parts of yourself with the world.
What is in you . . . let it out:
Emily Bear plays from the heart, sharing her joy with the world.
